the alleged molestations happened over a span of 15 years. the other in the last two years. and because of garcia's involvement with youth sports and the boy scouts, police fear the victims list could grow significantly. >> we have reached out to the little league as well as the boy scouts to get information out and specifically identify what involvement mr. garcia may have had with those organizations. >> reporter: garcia also owns tony's embroidery in gilroy. the business in an industrial park was closed for the day. >> your reaction to what he's accused of doing. >> shocked, i guess. you know what i mean? >> reporter: molestations charges were the last thing on brian hewitt's mind when he witnessed the arrest. >> we were thinking maybe tax evasion this time of year or drugs maybe. but not this. this is a real shock. >> reporter: i reached out to gilroy little league but i have not heard back.

the list of items taken in the burglary of a visitation valley home this morning exceptionally troubling for san francisco police. >> a 9 millimeter glock weapon that belonged to a sheriff's deputy. that weapon was locked in a locked box. however, there was also full duty belt taken, ballistic vest, and two magazines. >> reporter: taken from the home of a san francisco sheriff's deputy along with a flat san francisco police badge similar to this one. >> now is in possession of law enforcement equipment that could potentially be used to rob people and pose as a fake officer. >> reporter: police warn if you ever doubt whether an officer is the real deal you can ask to see both the badge and their police i.d. this theft is the latest in a number of recent burglaries involving weapons. some of law enforcement in the bay area and some used in serious crimes. >> we've seen in the past recently here in san francisco was weapons that were stolen in

the auto burglaries. >> reporter: police say this time the gun was in home and security. a spokesman for the sheriff's department says the deputy reported the theft this morning. a radio was also stolen and "this is a matter of serious concern to the sheriff and the sheriff's department. any missing firearm is a danger to the public. we are hopefully it will be recovered quickly and safely." >> reporter: again the sheriff's department was able to disable that deputy's radio. they say they're going to do a number of things, the police department, including canvassing that neighborhood and trying to see if perhaps anything was caught on the neighbor's surveillance cameras. reporting live in san francisco, christie smith, nbc bay area news. >> christie, thanks very much. our investigative unit has spent months looking into the issue of stolen law enforcement guns one of the things we found is that police homes are popular targets because thieves can assume there are guns inside. if you want more on our investigation visit our web site, nbcbayarea.com. you'll find the story at the

very top of the page. a violent home robbery and police chase in hayward. it began last night at 11:00 in the plaza verde departments. police say a kidnapped man may have led his three captors to a unit there. inside they pistol whipped two residents and robbed the place. neighbors heard the commotion and called the police. that led to a police chase and crash. >> there were firearms, handguns, possibly a shotgun, a handgun found another by the vehicle and a shotgun and possibly another handgun inside the car. >> police say they managed to catch two of the three. none of the victims or suspects are injured. their injuries are not considered life-threatening. police are now trying to figure out if the whole thing was drug-related. first anger, now action. tonight people in concord are pushing ahead to get a sexually violent predator run out of town. he's been released under transient status meaning he'll be living in hotels. but as nbc bay area's pete

suratos tell us it's making many neighborhood members feel very concerned. >> reporter: i spoke to concord police and they were against that judge's ruling to place robert bates here in concord. the bottom line is they say if he's not doing something criminal there's not much they can do about it. a petition is now circulating to move 52-year-old robert bates out of concord. he's a man convicted for violent sexual acts with minors. it's a sentiment that's shared by city officials. >> it wasn't concord's decision to have him here. obviously we're against it. >> reporter: a superior court judge ruled that bates had to be released from a state hospital to contra costa county by march 21st. the state department overseeing these hospitals notified the city of concord that bates would live on a short-term basis at hotels around the county. he'll be under constant supervision by liberty health care and concord police will be able to track bates with the help of an ankle bracelet.

>> i realize that he needs to try and get reintegrated into society. but i have to think that there are better alternatives than just moving him from hotel to hotel. >> reporter: concord police have received calls from folks who have already seen bates walking around downtown. but since he's currently not wanted for any crimes, there's not much they can do. >> unless he's acting in some type of criminal behavior, there's no reason to call the police and notify us that he's in downtown concord or anywhere else in the city. >> reporter: now, since bates is a transient he's required to check in with concord police every 30 days. but the ultimate goal for concord police is to work with the county to move bates elsewhere. live in concord, pete suratos, nbc bay area news. >> pete, thanks very much. they still don't know who he is but they know there's no foul play. yesterday we first told you about a body found in the canal in unincorporated bay point. this morning the coroner's office did an autopsy and determined this is not a homicide. police are now waiting the full autopsy findings.

a single tree, this single tree, has become wouldn't hottest top nix san francisco. it's triggered a neighborhood feud. restraining orders. now the city is getting involved. that issue whether a homeowner is allowed to cut down a pine tree in the backyard of his own richmond district home. now it appears there may finally be a conclusion. nbc bay area's kim yonenaka live in the neighborhood where tree advocates say this isn't any old tree. right, kim? >> reporter: right, terry. this is the tree at the heart of this battle. recently a renowned arborist declared that it is a rare

hybrid pine tree, the only one of its kind in san francisco. now, the finding proved to be key in making this a landmark status and protecting this tree from getting cut down. but opponents warn that this outcome could come with severe consequences. this all began on cook street 11 months ago. new homeowner dale rogers chopped down two date palm trees and another pine tree like this one. all of which were on his property. neighbors were immediately outraged, saying the pine trees date back 100 years and make up the landscape and character of their neighborhood. >> so just because you own property doesn't mean that you can just act beyond the law above the law. you can't change the law. >> reporter: but at the time rogers didn't do anything wrong. none of the trees were recognized under the city's landmark ordinance. neighbors vowed to change that, using restraining orders to protect the remaining tree until they could convince city leaders to save it.

this morning they got their wish. >> yes. >> reporter: the urban forestry council voted in favor of the landmark status. a move that rogers' attorney says sets a bad precedent. >> i'm more concerned about the message that this is going to send, particularly that developers or people with ill intent will go ahead and start removing trees in anticipation that this ordinance will be misused in this way. >> reporter: now, the next step is this matter goes before the board of supervisors who can overturn the council's ruling but historically that isn't likely, which means that this tree will stay put. reporting live in san francisco, i'm kim yonenaka, nbc bay area news. >> thank you, kim. the ripple effect of a new law in north carolina being felt here in the bay area tonight. mayor ed lee barring official city travel to north carolina. lots of protest across north carolina today against a new anti-discrimination law that deliberately excludes the lgbt
